Importing a ACT! 6.0 Database Guyaurora 2/19/2007 3:30:10 PM I am trying to Import a large ACT! 6.0 database and some of the addresses and phone numbers import Ok but a lot do not. I mapped the fields I wanted to import. Any ideas? -- Guyaurora

Re: Importing a ACT! 6.0 Database "Lon Orenstein" <Lon[ at ]pinpointtools.com> 2/19/2007 3:52:45 PM Guyaurora: What does the error log say about the import process? It could give you some clues. As to why some records import OK and some do not, I would suggest you clean up the ACT! database before importing and make sure it's clean. You may need to do a compress and reindex or more. There's a utility called actdiag.exe that will analyze and then repair your 6.0 database. Get my free eBook, Moving from ACT! to BCM 2007 (or the one for ACT! 6.0 and BCM 2003) at http://www.pinpointtools.com/category_s/23.htm and I explain the details in that.

Re: Importing a ACT! 6.0 Database "Lon Orenstein" <Lon[ at ]pinpointtools.com> 2/20/2007 3:27:17 PM Bob: Not sure what Business Card Manager is? Could you elaborate? You may not get an error message but you will get a log produced for the conversion of ACT! to BCM. Look on the last screen of the Data Conversion Wizard when it says "the import is complete".
